The Personal History of Wayne Lynch.

Uncharted Waters – The Personal History of Wayne Lynch from Patagonia on Vimeo.

I was introduced to Wayne though Baddy Treloar on the same beach where i learnt to surf. It was the 30 year reunion of two good mates and i was so happy to be there with the both of them hearing the stories they shared in and out of the water. From surfing Bells with nothing but a footy jersey and a fire on the beach for warmth, to exploring the coast for perfect line-ups with no one in sight. I cant wait to see this movie of Waynes and i'm guessing you feel the same.

TEDx - How oceans clean themselves...


Boyan Slat (@BoyanSlat, Delft, 1994) combines environmentalism, creativity and technology to tackle global issues of sustainability. Currently working on oceanic plastic pollution, he believes current prevention measures will have to be supplemented by active removal of plastics in order to succeed. With his concept called Marine Litter Extraction, Boyan Slat proposes a radical clean-up solution, for which he won the Best Technical Design award 2012 at the TU Delft.

Where millions of tons of plastic kill ocean life and poison food chains, Boyan sees opportunities to combat this. While researching ocean plastics during school holidays, he performed analysis on various fundamental topics (including particle sizes, plastic/plankton separation and the amount of plastic in the oceans), leading up to the first realistic concept for cleaning up the world's oceans.

Now a first-year Aerospace Engineering student at the TU Delft, Boyan has always been passionate about applying technology in an original way (at age fourteen he set a world record with launching 213 water rockets), and as an (underwater)photographer and videographer witnesses environmental degradation through his very own eyes.
